Says: If they suffocate us in PDP and
we need to move, we move.
Hours after embracing President
Goodluck Jonathan at Port Harcourt
Airport, Rivers State Governor, Rotimi
Amaechi yesterday evening raised the
stakes in the crisis rocking the state
branch of the party by threatening to
dump the ruling People’s Democratic
Party(PDP).
He vowed to leave for any other party
if PDP insists on the reversal of the
suspension of Obio/Akpor local
council executives as pre-condition
for him to remain in the party.
Amaechi said this while reacting to
questions by the Bishop of the
Anglican Communion, Niger Delta
Diocese, Rev. Ignatius C. Kattey, at the
60th birthday thanksgiving service of
the former president of the Nigeria
Bar Association (NBA), O.C.J. Okocha
(SAN) in Port Harcourt.
He said the PDP should not give him
conditions over Obio/Akpor, saying
that it was only the lawmakers who
suspended them, or the court that
could lift the suspension.
The governor explained to the crowd
at the service that the law that
empowered the lawmakers to
suspend council officials also
empowered him to dissolve the
executive, but said he has not done
that.
“If they reverse it tomorrow, there is
one more option left to me, I can
dissolve the entire executive. The
police can remain there as much as
they want, it is Obio/Akpor people’s
problem; the money is going
nowhere.
“But we have saved you too, because
the reason they suspended the
executives is because they said, ‘let us
investigate the place because there
was corruption.’ If they investigate and
the chairman and the councillors are
not corrupt, they will call them back.
But if they go to court to try to stop
them, they will do their function.
“I want to hear the court say they
have no right to do their function.
Whatever the court says is what the
Rivers State Government will do. We
will obey the court, but outside that,
nobody, not PDP, can give me
condition. Is there only one party in
Nigeria? Why would they give me
condition? They will not give me
condition.
“I lead the people of Rivers State and I
will lead you. If they suffocate us in
PDP and we need to move, we move!
“We will continue to struggle for our
rights, and that includes our oil wells.
You will hear the truth of this fight in
December, January. I will address the
state and I will tell you the truth of the
fight.
“Not between me and these people
here, they are not a problem to me.
But when election comes, the Rivers
people will be given the chance to
choose who they want,” he said
The Bishop had at the beginning of
his sermon at the church service
sought to confirm if Amaechi had
been given the re-instatement of the
suspended executives of Obio/Akpor
council as condition to end the crisis,
and what he Ameachi was doing
about it.
Kattey also asked the embattled
Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF)
chairman if there was really an
election that returned him as the
chairman of the forum, and urged
him to tell the truth.
Responding, Amaechi said: “I don’t lie.
If I will go to hell, lie wouldn’t be one
of the reasons for my going to hell.
Take it from me, those who lie don’t
have courage, I have them in
quantum; my children have excess of
courage.
“Your Grace, there was an election,
your Grace, they are not denying that
there was no election. They said
before the election some people have
signed documents for them, and they
were 19, but in contesting the
election, those 19 changed their
minds and voted for me, and when
the battle was on it was clear that it
was between the ‘Villa’ and me, and I
won.
“There was an election and they were
properly defeated and they saw the
consequences of defeat. It is a
Governors’ Forum I have led for two
years. Even the 16 told me ‘you were
wonderful as the chairman, but you
know where the pressure is coming
from and we can’t avoid the pressure,
I won and won well, tomorrow
morning (today), I will win again.”
Twenty-seven members of the Rivers
State House of Assembly in April
suspended the Executive Chairman of
Obio/Akpor Local Government Area,
Timothy Nsirim and his councillors for
alleged financial recklessness.
Efforts by the Felix Obuah-led state
PDP to force the lawmakers to re-
instate the council executives failed.
The national body of PDP then
suspended Amaechi shortly after his
victory of the NGF election – hinging
the action on his refusal to recall the
council executive.

Rumour mill.

Portharcourt first son***in duncan mightys voice**

Azonto, Azonto, Azonto, Azonto, Azonto, Azonto, Azonto, Azonto, Azonto

Jona vs Amaechi season 2!

Amachi will maintain a cordial relationship with APC, retain the chairman position of NGF, remain a full member of the PDP and there is nothing that can be done about it.

Instead of calling his boys to order, Oga at the top decided to use ordinary NGF's election to test-run his 2015 strategy - thereby making this a referendum of his leadership.

If Amaechi will not be duly acknowledged as Chairman of NGF, then 2015 election is a waste of time.

I think its high time he did that.
If u wan to fight wit opposition, move over to opposition.
Let him join d power-drunk Tinubu and Buhari.

This man should stop all this media ranting, if he wants to leave, let him leave. Action speaks louder than voice

qualified: I think its high time he did that.
If u wan to fight wit opposition, move over to opposition.
Let him join d power-drunk Tinubu and Buhari.

honey, you are correct on that. Am beginning to see amaechi as an hypocrite and opportunist who likes to gain peoples sympathy.

This is not news Ameachi soul n spirit is with ACN.

qualified: I think its high time he did that.
If u wan to fight wit opposition, move over to opposition.
Let him join d power-drunk Tinubu and Buhari.

Who is power drunk between the people u mentioned here and oga jona? Who has people been calling tyrant today? Who has people been refering to sani abacha's days of anti democrasy activities?
Who has been intimidating press because they say d truth about his administration(even though it is d same press dt fought 4 him)? Who has been collecting another ethnic group(kalabari) oilwells 4 his own state and tribe men? Who has been doing Nigerian government to show that we are the ones in power? Whose wife have slaped a state governor b4? Who has been awarding every contract to his people only? Who has been using SSS to deal with anybody that say something against him? Who want to distroy a forum election because his candidate did not win? Answer this questions and u will know who is power drunk.

So one of the few shining light of PDP wants to leave the nest of killers too

I m not surprised cos have been expecting it considering his recent controversy with his oga. Going back and forth is allowed. If in the long run the new party is not favorable, he can come back to PDP. It is always about their personal interest.
